I think it hurts the big artists the most, and majorly helps out the indie artists who need to get their name out there.
Besides, the big artists and their record labels have monopolized the record stores, radio airwaves, tv and every other form of media for too long anyways. They've proven they're greedy and won't help out the little guys, in fact they do everything they can to suppress the little guys.. So fuck 'em.
Hard to see the value in pirating porn though. 
I think it comes down to if you need the branding, you're happy to take it. You just want to get your shit out there any means necessary. |
exactly, no value in pirating a product that satisfies its client in about 15 minutes
It's tough to create a cult folllowing in porn, especially nowadays when the level of the product is very good and its accesibility, for the first time in the history - completely off the hook.
The video quality and stuff is definitely enough to satisfy most of potential customers, while the creativity and diversification is exactly the opposite.
If you see for example stuff from Twistys on tube8 - well I can't imagine how can any of their super professionally custom shot scenes upsell while it's free stuff from a thousand other producers around, in some cases maybe even with exactly the same models, maybe even shot by the same producer.
